Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate and secure coupling by projecting a sectorial projection which is wider at its tip part than at its root on one flank and forming an insertion groove which is almost in the same shape with the projections and less in tilt angle than the projection in the other flank when coupling a light receiving/emitting element and an optical fiber with each other. CONSTITUTION:The sectorial projection 7 which is wider at the tip part than at the root part is formed on one flank of a receptacle used as an optical connector component and the insertion groove which is almost in the same shape with the projection 7 and less in tilt angle than it is formed in the other surface. Then, the projection and insertion groove 7 of a right and a left body are coupled by being slid to couple many single bodies with one another. Thus, the projection 7 is slid in and coupled with the insertion groove 8 and then the projection 7 deforms elastically to attain tight coupling.
